something part of what it means to be a woman. for a long time, kate wondered what was wrong with her. that period only came every 3 to 6 months. and you do worry and your thoughts can spiral when you wonder why you haven't had your period for so long. as long as you're talking at the age of 21, she went to see her gynecologist. she did an ultrasound and noticed that there were changes in my ovary and she then made a diagnosis based on that that often the most case was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. imbalance associated with an excessive level of male hormones. the doctor didn't break the news with much sensitivity, and he just said, this means you probably won't be able to have children or it will be really hard to conceive for such a young woman to be told something. i was definitely

a shock. i don't think it's a cop asking, understands those fears she often sees young women like kate who are worried about not being able to have kids crisis coming. women and young girls usually come to us because of a regular cycles. in other words, that period doesn't come every $4.00 to $6.00 weeks, but it completely irregular times or not a tool over a period of several months. these irregularities are often associated with a lack of, of elation. unfair and i can hear their other symptoms too. in a small, hypo, and your genius them is when you have too much male hormone in the blood. the effects of that are more bodily hair of a male type, including a bid can also lead to acne, all hallow's. now, with

a hostile kate also experienced increased head growth doesn't exist. it was especially noticeable on the channel where a man would have appeared. there was a lot in that area, and on my tummy to onset usually begins during puberty. polycystic ovary syndrome is estimated to affect between 5 and 10 percent of women of childbearing age, but it's not the only reason for irregular periods. yes, to the ones who don't come, most girls get their period at the age of 11 or 12. and usually you would wait until the age of around 20 to see how this cycle has developed. only when it's really and regular, not just every 283540 days, but maybe 6 or 8 weeks. sometimes longer would you diagnose gnostic mom polices to go for it. syndrome is often associated with being overweight,

or having a metabolic disorder. all is typical of cystic ovary. singerman is typically linked to being overweight. whether that's a cools or an effect, we don't know because of the insulin resistant, it's the body's metabolism is affected. it breaks down sugar and other food differently. so it's a little bit of a cycle yet. so does us and find that kind of stuff. just polycystic ovary syndrome is probably genetic. there's no cure, but the symptoms can be managed if you know something and they don't want to. luckily, i've now found a really good doctor who gives great advice. that there are different things you can do. there's medication that's good for your metabolism, which has a positive effect on how your body breaks down sugar. and you can also take hormone based medication, which gets a handle on the male hormones,

so to speak of. because i think children isn't ruled out either. and that's important for kate. now 29, she's learned to deal with having polycystic ovary syndrome. so after i started my body the way it is that i'm a bit heavier than others. but i have hair and i'm usually placed ok, it's part of who i am. i think not be that easy every day, but every 2nd day it is at least and that's something he's got to defuse medical problems. ask your doctor to take a blood sample to check your whole mental status. like to check your thyroid that i would let me show you. it was named after its apparent resemblance to an ancient greek sheet while others compared to one of the he's

the thyroid gland doesn't actually serve, but in the case of most people, it weighs no more than a slice of toast between 20 and 30 grams. in fact, the thyroid is the largest gland in our body. the most important hormones released by the thyroid are called t. 3 and t. 4. among the tasks they take care of is regulating our energy levels. and they ensure that cells burn, sugar from food into fuel. they make our heart beat faster and raise our body temperature like a 6 i ride can have repercussions on the entire organism. one common symptom is a go a different voice. and in march to that conses a swelling in the neck, because in the majority of cases i had dined deficiency,

the resulting pressure on the a softer guess can lead to breathing difficulties. all said, if i write novels are another widespread problem, hot result in excess production of thyroid hormones and there are called modules which lower overall hormone production. and then there's thyroiditis and inflammation that can cause unusually high or low levels of fire. oid hormones in the blood. there are many reasons for us to keep an eye on our thyroid and overactive gland can increase the risk of a stroke or cardiovascular disease. so it's best to have it checked regularly early and the so we talked about puberty. this is the time in life where all those sexual hormones are rising, like testosterone and estrogen. and there's

a time in life when those hormones receipt and this is called menopause. and this isn't without any problems. the men oppose represents a major biological change for women. it means a woman can no longer become pregnant naturally, she also faces the prospect of weight gain, as well as hot flushes and difficulty sleeping. it's going to pause usually occurs between the ages of $45.55, so on average, around $51.00 because it begins to be projected around the official and the regular menstrual bleeding. and when the ovaries stop producing estrogen, that's when the symptoms become really noticeable. some women are badly affected if at all, while others suffer physical symptoms and ease often accompanied by emotional distress. the emotional burden above all consists of mood

swings, feeling down and even about severe depression. since of it. and this is due to the hormones essentially going on a rollercoaster. the whole way drop significantly from a very high level before stabilizing at a very low level will speed up and a lot of women find this change extremely difficult to live with this music for talking from an iphone. for some women suddenly start to question the relationship they're in and think about starting afresh. men can also experience men. of course, from the age of 50 bodies start producing less of their main hormone, testosterone, disorders for the money and guns down strong is hugely important for men due to its impact on practically every corrigan's. it plays a crucial role in muscle strength and growth while sperm production also depends on the robust testosterone production. and low level of just starts to run leads to

a variety of symptoms such as a reptile dysfunction and a loss of muscle strength and bone mass, which are vital. so men also suffer from hormonal imbalance. a decline in testosterone leads to a lack of energy. ben will often feel lethargic, while also noticing changes to their physic, to being young and dynamic again, some even think about embarking on a new and more exciting lifestyle. so is there such a thing as man, a pause button for your in of its own, like women and men do not see a rapid drop in hormone production. for this concern, the decline is slow and steady with hormone deficiency, not beginning until the age of 60 or 65. things that would lead to deficiency becomes more common as men grow older. it what sort of a man and a woman. but there is, of course, the option of testosterone replacement therapy can be from enough, you know,

you don't see and it has an effect. a cocktail of testosterone, like medication, can help men get back to their own selves. almost at least it's similar with women . remedies such as chaste early and black cohosh can provide relief with mild symptoms. otherwise their instruction supplements. don't just make the treatment involves a limited dose of hormones to return the woman to the same condition. she was relieved to men a pause, as could be. we're now able to do that pretty effectively with a mild personalised hormone therapy and treatment that patients are then free of symptoms should be in fact to where they were before hand before just what patients want to force. the metaphors can be a difficult time, but hopefully women and men can come out of it and feel better than ever. that's it for today. see you next week,
